President’s Message The global Daikin Group has a long tradition of upholding three Core Values: Absolute Credibility, Enterprising Management and Harmonious Personal Relations. Based upon these Core Values, Daikin Industries, Ltd. (“DIL”) has developed Our Group Philosophy, which reflects the fundamental ideas regarding the establishment of our global group- wide Corporate Ethics. These Corporate Ethics are an expression of fundamental values and represent a framework for decision-making. Some years ago, Daikin Europe N.V. (“DENV”) developed the “Daikin Europe Group Handbook for Corporate Ethics” (applicable to Daikin Europe N.V., Daikin Industries Czech Republic (“DICz”) and its affiliated companies) based upon the DIL guidelines. In October 2008, DIL broadened its efforts regarding Corporate Ethics and established 15 Daikin Group Compliance Guidelines (see page 8) which served as a basis to update our own version of the Handbook for Corporate Ethics. In 2016, DIL updated their Corporate Ethics Policy, which inspired us to update our own Handbook for Corporate Ethics in October 2018. We ensure compliance with our own ethics and the applicable legislation through the description and implementation of Company Rules (including ‘Executions’) and procedures (including work instructions). Our Corporate Ethics apply not only to all employees and directors, but also to all consultants, agents and other representatives retained by us, and we encourage all our business partners, including our customers and suppliers, to act in line with our Ethical Principles. Compliance with our Corporate Ethics is vital to maintaining Daikin’s company and product image as a responsible corporate citizen, and to achieving our goal of being among the best and most respected companies in the world. As employees, we must always be aware that every decision we make, everything we do, can affect the reputation of our company, and in turn, our own lives and livelihood. Therefore, every employee must strive to maintain the high standards of our business ethics and personal integrity. We must each be mindful of always avoiding, on and off the job, circumstances and actions that could give even the appearance of impropriety or wrongdoing and that could discredit Daikin. Reasons such as “everyone does it” or “it’s not illegal” are unacceptable excuses for violating our ethical principles. No handbook can anticipate every ethical decision we may face in business. If you are uncertain about what to do, discuss this first with your colleagues or your superior. It is important that you read this Handbook carefully and ask questions about anything you do not understand. I know you and your colleagues will take pride in always doing the right thing. Masatsugu Minaka Frans Hoorelbeke President of Daikin Europe N.V. Chairman of Daikin Europe N.V. 5
Introduction to the Daikin Europe Group Handbook for Corporate Ethics Our Commitment The purpose of this Handbook is to express our commitment to high ethical and legal standards. We must apply these standards in both letter and spirit. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of each member of Daikin Europe Group to respect these standards of conduct, whether or not imposed by law. As good citizens, we must observe the applicable law of all countries in which we operate. DENV is primarily governed by Belgian law and European regulations. However, we also do business in other countries. The affiliated companies of DENV are responsible for complying with local legislation. DENV must also ensure that local legislation is respected in non-affiliated sales territories. When there is a conflict between European regulations and the law of a country in which we are active, we shall consult with DENV Legal. Our Core Values Daikin Europe Group is part of the global Daikin Group. As such, we strive to be a world-class leader in every aspect of our business. Our core values are: ›› Absolute Credibility - a commitment based on trust and openness to building relationships with our customers, colleagues, business partners, and communities; ›› Enterprising Management - a commitment to building our company through the initiative and excellence of all employees; and ›› Harmonious Personal Relations - a commitment to a workplace in which we all work together with dedication to meet Daikin’s goals and challenges. The law sets forth a minimum necessary level of conduct. We must obey the law, but as our Core Values demonstrate, we strive for a higher standard, even if this can limit potential business expansion. Our Responsibility to Ourselves and to Others As a company we are performance driven, determined to deliver on every commitment made to ourselves and to those with whom we do business. In meeting that commitment, we always take action based on our high standards of ethics and pursue our goals based on principles of fair competition. We strive to be open, fair, and accountable to each other and to the communities in which we do business. We assure the safety of our operations and establish a sound working environment. We provide high quality to satisfy our customers. We are environmentally concerned and contribute to the communities in which we work. 6
Each of us is responsible for knowing, understanding, and complying with our Corporate Ethics. Therefore, we aim to create a positive work environment where doing the right thing is also the easy thing to do. Those who do not share this view of company ethics should consider whether they belong at Daikin Europe Group. In addition, we also encourage our customers and suppliers to respect our Corporate Ethics. When In Doubt, Take the One-Minute Ethics Test: ›› Am I adhering to the letter as well as to the spirit of any law or any Company Rule that may be involved? ›› Is this action consistent with Daikin’s values? ›› Will there be any direct or indirect negative consequences for Daikin? ›› Does it “feel” wrong? ›› What would my family, friends or neighbours think of my actions? Always act in such a way that you can be proud of your actions. Reporting a Violation of our Corporate Ethics If you have any knowledge of a violation of our Corporate Ethics, do not disguise it or bury your head in the sand, because the violation could seriously harm our company if it is not properly managed. Try to resolve the issue by bringing it to the attention of the person involved, if an informal resolution seems possible. If the violation has substantially harmed or is likely to substantially harm someone or the organisation, you are obliged to report it to your direct superior or to any other person that can take appropriate action. If these communication channels prove to be unsuccessful, you can report any violation of our Corporate Ethics using the Whistleblower system that is available on the websites of DENV, DICz and those of the different affiliated companies. If anything in the Daikin Europe Group Handbook for Corporate Ethics is unclear, please consult with your superior, your legal liaison or DENV Legal. 7
Daikin Group Compliance Guidelines
These compliance guidelines set forth the basic premises for all Daikin Group companies as well as each one of their executives and

8Raising Compliance Awareness We aim to raise compliance awareness at Daikin Europe n.v. through the following initiatives: 1. One-Minute Ethics Test When in doubt about your actions, take the one-minute ethics test: ›› Am I adhering to the letter as well as to the spirit of any law or any Company Rule that may be involved? ›› Is this action consistent with Daikin’s values? ›› Will there be any direct or indirect negative consequences for Daikin? ›› Does it “feel” wrong? ›› What would my family, friends or neighbours think of my actions? Always act in such a way that you can be proud of your actions. 2. Implementation of educational activities for compliance awareness We are actively developing educational training programmes to ensure our employees are familiar with our Corporate Ethics policies and observe them in the workplace. 3. Whistle-blower system We have already foreseen in a whistle-blower system for Daikin Europe N.V. employees and subsidiaries. Those who wish to report incidents of non-compliance can file a report using the Ethics Form on the Daikin intranet platform: http://daikin.formstack.com/forms/ethics_form_denv 9
4. Internal helpline For Daikin Europe N.V. employees, we have an internal helpline called the ‘Trust Team’. The ‘Trust Team’ is made up of employees from Daikin Europe N.V., who are available to listen and speak with colleagues who may be going through personal or professional issues, e.g. violence, sexual harassment or psycho-social issues. You can find more information about the ‘Trust Team’ on the Daikin Intranet. 5. External helpline Daikin Europe N.V. also partnered with Expolink to provide an external helpline where employees can report incidents anonymously. This external helpline will help us build trust and confidence in our community and make it easier for people to speak up if they see anything wrong in the workplace. Employees can use the external helpline by dialing 0800 80384 and using the access code 32454. From here you can select your preferred language, and a translator will join the conversation as you make your report to an Expolink call handler. You also have the option to disclose your name or keep the report anonymous. Other options to reach the helpline: Visit the Expolink website: https://wrs.expolink.co.uk/daikineuropehelpline Visit https://wrs.expolink.co.uk/ and enter daikineuropehelpline as the access code. If it’s not possible for you to call or use the web platform, the external helpline can also be contacted through email at daikineuropehelpline@expolink.co.uk. However, we recommend only sending an email if there is no other way to contact the Expolink helpline. 10
1. Securing legal compliance We will ensure legal compliance by informing ourselves appropriately and by incorporating this information into our activities. The minimum necessary level of conduct which every company needs to respect is to obey all the applicable legislation, both local and supranational. In other words, every company must at least be legally compliant. It is the basis of corporate ethics. If a company does not comply with the law, it has no credibility in the enforcement of corporate ethics. The activities of Daikin Europe Group are the result of the actions of each individual within the company and of our suppliers and customers. Therefore, it is everybody’s responsibility to comply with the law. This means we will: ›› Inform ourselves about the relevant legislation and the latest legal developments related to our fields of responsibility. ›› Incorporate the relevant legislation into our procedures and work instructions. ›› Follow these procedures and work instructions, especially regarding export and import related laws and regulations on security export. ›› Not enter into any contractual obligation or agreement if we are unsure whether or not it is legally compliant. If we have any doubts, we will consult with our legal department for proper assessment. ›› Not misuse any company information (such as proprietary information) for personal benefit. In order to support us, Daikin Europe’s Board of Directors has defined a group-wide Legal Compliance System. Within this system, Company Rules are defined that need to be respected by all employees, since breach of compliance may harm Daikin, both the company and its image. Therefore, if you have any knowledge of non-compliance, you have the obligation to report this to your superior or any other person who can take appropriate action. For legal compliance in the Daikin Europe Group, DENV will take the initiative and proceed diligently with the preparation of Company Rules for DENV and the group companies. 11
2. Providing safe, high-quality products and services anticipating the future needs of our end-users We will ensure the safety and quality of our products for end- users, and will offer products and services that excite them by anticipating their future needs. 1. Ensuring the safety of our products and services We strive for end-user satisfaction. We will ensure the safety of our processes and services, as well as the safe use of our products, in full compliance with all safety laws, relevant regulations and standards. 2. Providing immediate and appropriate safety responses to emerging problems Should a safety problem arise, we will place the highest priority on the safety of our end-users by taking immediate action to contain the problem and prevent the occurrence of a serious accident. These actions can include repairing or replacing the products in question, publicising the problem through appropriate media, and reporting to the relevant authorities. 3. Ensuring a level of quality that is certain to satisfy our end-users To ensure end-user satisfaction, we will seek feedback from our end-users and gather other quality related information. If a problem arises, we will take immediate corrective action. We will precisely communicate any appropriate information to all internal parties concerned to ensure products and services of ever-higher quality. 12
3. Conducting business operations based on the principles of fair competition We shall conduct our business according to the principles of fair competition in each country we operate, while taking into account all the rules and regulations related to anti-trust or competition. Daikin, both as brand and with its products, is in a market leading position. However, we will not abuse our position. Daikin Europe is concerned about fair competition. Therefore, we will always strive to treat our competitors, customers and suppliers correctly and with respect. This includes that we will not, with the intention of restricting competition: ›› Enter into any understanding or agreement with any competitor, nor exchange or discuss competitive information with a competitor. ›› Impose excessive demands or obligations on our customers or suppliers. ›› Use improper or illegal methods to acquire proprietary information of other companies. We will eliminate, as far as possible, expressions that may mislead customers (including consumers). We will communicate correct information to them. We will avoid giving misleading price indications to our customers, relating to our products. 13
4. Practising fair procurement by maintaining friendly yet challenging and competitive relations with suppliers We will maintain friendly yet challenging and competitive relations with suppliers. In addition, we will practise fair procurement and not abuse our strong bargaining position. Daikin Europe Group works with many other companies and organisations. When selecting suppliers, we will open our door to companies worldwide to provide fair and equal business opportunities. We will look for suppliers and business partners that support our values and ethical principles, and that support our commitment to quality. We will avoid those who violate the law or fail to comply with the sound business practices we promote. In addition, we will encourage fair competition among our potential suppliers, contractors and vendors, and deal equitably with all. We will practise fair procurement without abusing any strong bargaining position we may have. 14
5. Respecting intellectual property
and confidentiality of proprietary information
We will respect the intellectual property and information of others, and safeguard our own intellectual property
and information.
1. Respecting Intellectual Property
Intellectual property consists of trade secrets and the following rights: patent, trademark, design patent and copyright. These
four rights are subject to publication for protection.
We will respect all valid intellectual property rights of other companies. Therefore, we will take steps not to infringe other
companies’ intellectual property rights. In addition, the intellectual property rights of Daikin Group are an important asset.
Therefore, we shall strive to use and maintain Daikin’s intellectual property rights in a consistent way so that we can protect
them in an effective manner if necessary.
2. Respecting the Confidentiality of Proprietary Information
Proprietary information includes confidential information on, for example:
›› alliances
›› design data ›› mergers & acquisitions
›› drawings ›› selling prices
›› development themes ›› cost prices and the like
›› product plans ›› ...
›› new business developments
We will respect the confidentiality of proprietary information of Daikin Group and of other companies by adequate controls so
that the information is not disclosed.
Therefore, proprietary information − considered confidential – must be handled appropriately (e.g. by entering into a
non-disclosure agreement with a third party, by storing paper versions in a drawer or a cabinet placed in an
access controlled room, …).
The above matters require professional handling. Please consult your legal liaison and DENV Legal when you need to act.
3. Monitoring Abuse of Intellectual Property
At Daikin Europe Group, with DIL’s full support, we will monitor our and other companies’ intellectual property, so that
appropriate countermeasures can be taken in case of infringement.
When we observe abuse in the market of the Brand ‘Daikin’ (logo) and any Daikin trademarks, including alteration, we will
consult with our legal liaison and DENV Legal before taking action.
156. Timely and appropriate disclosing of corporate information As a subsidiary of dil, Daikin Europe group has few legal obligations to communicate corporate information outside of the company. However, in order to develop our organisation as a reliable, transparent and open company, we will communicate with all stakeholders and disclose corporate information in a proactive and timely manner. 1. Establishing a reliable, transparent, and open company We will proactively provide information on our corporate activities to all stakeholders of Daikin Europe Group. In addition, we will consider the opinion of our stakeholders in our corporate activities so that we can be a reliable, transparent, and open company to society at large. 2. Timely and appropriate disclosure of corporate information We will actively, appropriately and in a timely manner disclose relevant and reliable information, including information on our philosophy, strategies and financial position, so that our stakeholders gain a full understanding of how our company is managed. 16

These policies are continually refined in response to experience and past failures. It is therefore critical that we respect these policies in the interest of safety. 2. Taking steps to prevent accidents and disasters A feeling that an accident or disaster might occur or is about to happen often precedes the actual occurrence of an accident or disaster. Therefore, we will report such feelings to management. In addition, we will check our workplaces daily to detect potential causes of accidents in order to implement further accident prevention measures. 3. Taking appropriate action immediately after the occurrence of an accident or disaster Should an accident or disaster occur, we will take appropriate action to help our colleagues and to prevent the spread of the accident or disaster.

Daikin’s unique position as a manufacturer of air conditioning equipment, compressors and refrigerants
has led to its close involvement in environmental issues. For several years Daikin has had the intention
to become a leader in the provision of products that have limited impact on the environment.
This challenge demands the eco design and development of a wide range of products and an energy
management system, resulting in energy conservation and a reduction of waste.
